As expected, a short visit to the Stonebridge and near realignment sections in the heavy rain and cold conditions produced very little.   Sightings included 10 Avocets, 7 Little Egrets, 2 Grey Herons, 6 Tufted Ducks, 2 Little Grebes and a Pied Wagtail.   98 Common Swifts and 12 House Martins flew NW.
